Paradigm
How important is a paradigm?
What is a paradigm? Is it referring to a “pair of dimes”? It can’t be important because we don’t use that word much, right? WRONG. The word paradigm refers to something really important. It names something so that you can be aware of it and purposefully change it.
Your paradigm controls your life. It is that BIG!

A book I read recently that impacted my life like this was “The Big Leap” by Gay Hendricks. He has a very engaging writing style with many examples to explain his points.

While all of these bring notice to the topic, it’s not enough. Most of them want to get rid of guns. Unfortunately, that won’t solve the problem, it is much deeper than that.
